TUSCALOOSA | A Tuscaloosa man was killed and five other people, including an infant, were injured in a two-vehicle collision Friday night on Jack Warner Parkway.

Anthony Scott Naylor, 48, died after being ejected from a pick-up truck that was struck from the rear at approximately 8:39 p.m. near the parkway’s intersection with Helen Keller Boulevard.

Naylor was a passenger in the Dodge Ram truck, along with the driver, two women and a 16-month-old child. These occupants, as well as the driver and lone occupant of the other vehicle involved, were taken to DCH Regional Medical Center, said Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steve Anderson.

The infant was later flown to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, the chief said.

Their conditions were not known as of 11:24 p.m. Friday and their names were not released.

According to Anderson, the collision occurred when the driver of a Ford F-350 headed east on Jack Warner Parkway struck the Dodge Ram from behind, causing the Ram to overturn multiple times, leave the roadway and strike the large, brick monument-style sign of the Ed Love Water Treatment Plant.

Anderson said it was unknown whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the wreck, and detectives with the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit along with the Tuscaloosa Police Department’s accident reconstruction team still were investigating the accident late Friday night.

Charges, if any, are pending the outcome of the probe.
